What St. Augustine's climate means for your Hoshizaki ice machine
The thing that shortens a Hoshizaki ice machine's life in St. Augustine is not use — it is the ambient conditions it works against. Salt in the coastal air corrodes exposed condenser coils and fan motors, while summer heat forces the compressor into longer run cycles just to hold temperature. Our technicians know what St. Augustine's climate does to a Hoshizaki ice machine, and we check those weak points while we're already on site.
Common Hoshizaki ice machine problems we fix in St. Augustine
Not Freezing
CriticalProduct thaws at the edges of the load while the display still claims the setpoint has been reached.
Causes & fix →Leaking Water
UrgentWater appears under the unit within an hour of a defrost cycle, and the floor stays wet rather than drying between cycles.
Causes & fix →Ice Maker Not Working
CommonThe harvest cycle runs but drops hollow, undersized, or fused cubes — or the bin simply stays empty through a full 24 hours.
Causes & fix →Tripping Breaker
UrgentIt runs for ten or twenty minutes then trips, and the same breaker holds fine with the unit unplugged.
Causes & fix →Ice Buildup
CommonFrost builds to a quarter-inch or more on the back wall and around the evaporator, and the drawers stop sliding freely.
Causes & fix →Compressor Failure
CriticalThe compressor clicks in, runs for a few seconds, then drops out again — usually a rhythm of three or four attempts a minute.
Causes & fix →Water Not Filling
UrgentThe fill valve is audibly energised for its usual few seconds but no water arrives at the mold or the reservoir.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
What happens when a technician arrives?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
What if the same issue comes back?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
When is a replacement the better call?
Yes. Some failures cost more to put right than the remaining life of the unit justifies, and a technician who has just measured the fault is the person best placed to tell you which case you are in.
Are the parts genuine?
OEM wherever the repair calls for it. If a part is no longer produced for your model, you hear that up front rather than after the invoice.
